how to share just the host tools among different builds?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

  i'm drawing a blank at the moment so this might be a trivial
question -- is there a way to share the non-toolchain, host tools
across different builds on my development host?

  if i'm doing closely-related builds (or even for totally different
architectures), i can see the host tools that are built under
tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/... and one would think that, theoretically,
those tools are appropriate for all sorts of independent builds, even
if the toolchain is different.

  is there a simple setting that allows me to take advantage of all
those host tools that were built during an initial build, and continue
to use them in subsequent builds?
